木头云 91e4489a55 refactor(buffer): rename 'additional' parameter to 'mem_to_free' for clarity
Header changes (include/libipc/buffer.h):
- Rename: additional → mem_to_free (better semantic name)
- Add documentation comments explaining the parameter's purpose
- Clarifies that mem_to_free is passed to destructor instead of p
- Use case: when data pointer is offset into a larger allocation

Implementation changes (src/libipc/buffer.cpp):
- Update parameter name in constructor implementation
- No logic changes, just naming improvement

Test changes (test/test_buffer.cpp):
- Fix TEST_F(BufferTest, ConstructorWithMemToFree)
- Previous test caused crash: passed stack variable address to destructor
- New test correctly demonstrates the parameter's purpose:
  * Allocate 100-byte block
  * Use offset portion (bytes 25-75) as data
  * Destructor receives original block pointer for proper cleanup
- Prevents double-free and invalid free errors

Semantic explanation:
  buffer(data_ptr, size, destructor, mem_to_free)

  On destruction:
    destructor(mem_to_free ? mem_to_free : data_ptr, size)

  This allows:
    char* block = new char[100];
    char* data = block + 25;
    buffer buf(data, 50, my_free, block);  // Frees 'block', not 'data'

cpp-ipc (libipc) - C++ IPC Library

MIT licensed Build Status Build status Vcpkg package

A high-performance inter-process communication library using shared memory on Linux/Windows.

  • Compilers with C++17 support are recommended (msvc-2017/gcc-7/clang-4)
  • No other dependencies except STL.
  • Only lock-free or lightweight spin-lock is used.
  • Circular array is used as the underline data structure.
  • ipc::route supports single write and multiple read. ipc::channel supports multiple read and write. (Note: currently, a channel supports up to 32 receivers, but there is no such a limit for the sender.)
  • Broadcasting is used by default, but user can choose any read/ write combinations.
  • No long time blind wait. (Semaphore will be used after a certain number of retries.)
  • Vcpkg way of installation is supported. E.g. vcpkg install cpp-ipc

Reference


使用共享内存的跨平台Linux/Windowsx86/x64/ARM高性能IPC通讯库

  • 推荐支持C++17的编译器msvc-2017/gcc-7/clang-4
  • 除STL外无其他依赖
  • 无锁lock-free或轻量级spin-lock
  • 底层数据结构为循环数组circular array
  • ipc::route支持单写多读,ipc::channel支持多写多读【注意目前同一条通道最多支持32个receiversender无限制
  • 默认采用广播模式收发数据,支持用户任意选择读写方案
  • 不会长时间忙等(重试一定次数后会使用信号量进行等待),支持超时
  • 支持Vcpkg方式安装,如vcpkg install cpp-ipc
